Refund Policy

Refunds will only be given to teams that cancel before 12/1/2018. After that time no refunds will be given. Because RECF takes a $5.00 RobotEvents processing fee out of the registration fees that portion will not be refunded.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

We are used to bad weather in Cache Valley. If weather is too extreme and school was canceled or roads are unsafe don't risk it. You will get a refund minus the 5 dollar Robotevents fee.
